Jon Stewart is so right about CNN. They try to be everything and end up looking ridiculous. There is no excuse for hiring the red state guy and that is exactly why John King's show will be a failure. People are urging a boycott. To add insult to injury CNN is considering David Shuster.CNN just seems to want bad anchors and it is speeding up a complete collapse. CNN is so busy trying to find a Beck, KO or Maddow that it is a sinking ship because no one is minding the store.
Listen to Jon CNN. He told you years ago to drop the pundits since they serve no purpose. Will CNN now fire the RedState guy since he is threatening to shoot Census people. Both Keith & Rachel are taking CNN to the woodshed on this one. Nobody is buying that CNN is not aware of some of his previous statements.
The entire clip was not only directed at "The Red State Guy." It was directed at CNN and the way in which they are doing business, including showing Larry King trying to be "hip," and riding around LA with Snoop Dog of all people. Jon Stewart is not against ALL pundits. He is against stupidity and that includes anchors as well.
CNN's forte is news not chatter.CNN can't become FNC or MSNBC. CNN is a brand name.CNN has to realize the media has changed and they don't control the message anymore. Spud is right politics has made the 24/7 news channels nothing but extensions of the ideologues and it is getting old. One thing I think that a lot of the people writing about CNN is ignoring is that CNN has some really bad shows. Also, the content of Campbell Brown and Larry King are simply just horrible. I am sorry I never thought Campbell Brown was a good anchor and I think that is why NBC went with Ann Curry. Having John King come on right after TSR is a mistake.It makes people think I am just going to see a rehash of what I have seen for the last 2 hours. That is why I say move TSR from 4-6 and come up with a new show at 6. Why would CNN be interested in Davis Suster? It seems as though 360 is turning around and I think it is because they get rid of the annoying panels.I am with Rachel Maddow mind over chatter.Nightline seems to do well with 18-49 year olds and CNN could do the same if they actually did news and quit making up fake topics to try and stir up controversy. The Erikson hire is another black eye for CNN. If this is not a signal that CNN does not need more opinion I don't know what is.
I am so tired of people saying CNN must be like FNC to be successful. CNN seems to have forgotten what is viewers want and that is why the network lost viewers.CNN will not get more viewers by doing what FNC does. FNC and MSNBc are not strong news operations. If CNN strays away from news it will affect their ability to make money. America needs are real news channel and CNN needs to fill the void. Can't news be CNN's identity. One complaint I constantly hear is that CNN is not doing news. I think that is the point that Jon Stewart is making.CNN is so busy trying to find the obnoxious personality and comes off looking dumb.
Has anyone noticed that CNN is now so lazy it is getting "feeds" from ABC and none other than, Fox News? They aren't even ashamed to let the viewer know they are not able to get the news directly anymore. Jon Stewart's point was that Eric Erickson was never vetted. I believe this because CNN has gotten so lazy and it can't even get direct "feeds."
I hope what Don Lemon said tonight is really true. He said CNN does not do shows with opinion hosts. He is one of my anchor favs at CNN and is being wasted on weekends.
Don Lemon is one of my favorite weekend anchors as well, but I don't think CNN knows what they're going to do next. Whatever "sticks" is what's going to happen. You just watch.
